Mug/cup - New mundane challenge

August 13th, 2015
Hi everyone
Thanks so much for voting for my point of balance rocks, I was not expecting that at all. Thanks to Deb @dejongdd for hosting the last mundane challenge, to the finalists and to all who posted entries.

As I sit here on the other side of the world from my home looking at European buildings and listening to a variety of different languages, I was wondering what unites many of our different cultures and is still mundane. The list of mundane objects is long but doesn't contain a cup / mug from which many of us drink our morning brew of tea, coffee, hot chocolate or the like.

So cup/mug is the new object and the tag is mundane-cupmug

As I am away from home on both work and pleasure, the competition will start today 13th August and will run for just over 2 weeks until 28th August. I'll choose finalists over that weekend and set up the voting.

Any technique, colour b&w, anything goes - I look forward to seeing your entries. You are welcome to post entries in this thread too to encourage others to try. You can see all the entries here: mundane-cupmug

Cheers
Debs

@dmcoile levitation..cool!

@dibzgreasley It's two shots - one with the cup propped up on a shot glass and one wit just the saucer by itself. Then you stack them in Photoshop and mask out the shot glass. You can find information about levitation photography online.

@grammyn Nice! I like how the double exposure echoes the design of the cup.

@fearinnocent That's a great handmade mug. Love it!

@dmcoile thank you if you meant to tag Kathy Boyles.

@kathyboyles Yes, I did mean you! I love the china cup and your double exposure. Apparently hit the wrong reply link. Oops!
